It’s disgusting, nice idea but terribly executed, the sleeves look like they’re knitted. Also the name on the back is way too high. Why couldn’t they have just kept it simple and all black with the same material with the shiny black numbers, crest and Nike logo.

Why does anyone do anything ever? Money. Nike figures they can rope in a bunch of saps to buy a football shirt that will never be on a football pitch, and they are right. Black on black never goes out of style, always makes people take a second glance, and Nike knows this. Everyone will see the new thing and become, in the immortal words of Chris Farley, Jojo the idiot circus boy with a pretty new pet, throwing piles of money into the hands of multi-millionaires just to wear something black.

Money is the sole motivation behind every decision. If Nike thought they could release a polka-dot version and make a few pennies, they’d do it.

I would bet the life of everyone on the planet that Sir Alex is much, much smarter than you.

No way Im Brazilien and our selection never`d use a black shirt even I think its nice just for use, not to Brazil selection we are Yellow, and very proud about our old shirt,,, but I would buy one just to have it since black is nice elegant so….
